SEV Biblia, Chapter 15:3
Entonces Absalón le decía: Mira, tus palabras son buenas y justas; mas no tienes quien te oiga por el rey.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 3. And Absalom said unto him , etc.] After some further talk, and finding he had a suit at law to bring on, and either seeing it drawn up in writing, or hearing his account of it, at once declared, without hearing the other party: see, thy matters [are] good and right ; thy cause is a good cause, and if it could be heard by proper persons there is no doubt but things would go on thy side, and thou wouldest carry thy cause: but [there is] no man [deputed] of the king to hear thee ; the king is grown old himself and his sons are negligent, and do not attend to business, and there are none besides them appointed to hear causes; and he suggested, as appears by what follows, that he was not in commission, but if he was, or should he appointed a judge, he would attend to business, and people should not go away after this manner, without having justice administered unto them, Ver. 4 . Absalom said, moreover , etc.] To the same persons, at the same time: oh that I were made judge in the land ; by which it appears that he had no office under the king; partly either because of his crime, and so not thought fit, and partly because he appeared to be an ambitious aspiring man, and so it was thought not safe to put him into any office: that every man that hath any suit or cause might come unto me, and I would do him justice ; at once, without any further trouble, or coming often, and in vain, and to no purpose.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 1-6 - David allows Absalom's pomp. Those parents know not what they do, wh indulge a proud humour in their children: many young people are ruine by pride. And those commonly are most eager for authority who leas understand its duties.
